As you can see there are five books all with two votes. I can either have another vote or you can choose which of the five you read. Your choice, majority decision by the end of the day.


Review date Tuesday 25 September

I'm happy either way, but if we leave the choice to the five books people can then read whichever books they can get hold of.

That is very true Pam, people do seem to have trouble recently, especially if relying on libraries.

I'm easy too. Perhaps we should just pick out which two (or more) appeal most or easiest to obtain, out of the five.

I'm easy too, I think having the five to choose from will give some of us a chance to get a book (new releases tend to be hard to come by here in rural NZ libraries)

Have just seen this. (Ann, ignore my PM please!).

I will see what I can get from Library (or Charity Shop).

Already replied to your PM Tess but thanks


OK free for all, read any one two three four or five of the books :-D :-D :-D

I shall definitely read Hannah's list because I have that one and probably the King's Mistress and the Kashmir shawl because I can get them on the Kindle.

Have downloaded the Kings Mistress to my Kindle already so hopefully I shall be able to get a head start!

Went to Birmingham Central Library this afternoon.

Came home with -

Hannah's List
The Kashmir Shawl
Divorced and Deadly
The Singapore Grip.

Couldn't find In the Woods or The king's Mistress.

However, I can only carry four paperbacks art a time. Am very happy with the books that I have. Looking forward to reading them all.

Wow, a good selection there Tess. Hadn't seen this before. Enjoy reading them!!!

Well, I have read and enjoyed 3 of them, I don't think I'll read the other two but will read the Philippa Gregory instead as it has been sitting on my book shelf for some time. :-)
